College football fans woke up on Sunday morning with a beautiful reminder: It's only Week 2.
It's only Week 2 and it feels like we've already seen everything. From one-handed catches and countless crazy finishes to fiery postgame press conferences and hilarious tweets, the college football season has already gifted us with a treasure trove of happiness. Except if you're a fan of Ohio State — or Notre Dame, Boise State and a bunch of other teams kicking themselves after depressing losses.
Here are the best college football tweets, videos and more from a what-more-could-you-ask-for Week 2.

3rd and Goal from the 7 … Their OWN 7
Louisiana Tech was supposed to threaten upset at home against Mississippi State. Not only were they blown out, they managed to record the longest down-and-distance in football history.

Just Take a Sip Tom
Texas bounced back from their Week 1 loss with a shellacking of San Jose State, after which Tom Herman refused to take a sip of water.

Leach is a Genius
Washington State trailed Boise State 17-10 at halftime and 31-10 halfway through the fourth quarter. They pushed the game to overtime, where they won in the third extra session. Clearly, Mike Leach's halftime comments spurred the comeback.

Brian Wasn't in a Talking Mood
Notre Dame failed to execute offensively during most of their home loss to Georgia and Brian Kelly was clearly peeved, which he did not hide during his postgame press conference.

The Video is Worse
Here is video of Kelly going after the reporter, Laken Litman from the Indianapolis Star. She handled herself like a champion.

College Football Can Be Weird
And we'd have it no other way, nor would Mississippi State, because this pregame routine obviously led them to victory.

Offseason Training Pays Off
Referee Mike Defee makes headlines each week for showing off his massive upper body. And he used that upper body to deflect a ball without losing a beat.

Pettis Can't Be Stopped
Last week, Washington receiver Dante Pettis tied DeSean Jackson's Pac-12 record for career punt returns with his sixth. This week, he broke the record.

This is Pretty Cool
Texas Wesleyan's football team had their first home game in 75 years. They lost to Millsaps College but it was still a great day for the Rams.
Earlier today, Texas Wesleyan returned to the same home field they had when they disbanded football 75yrs ago! #RamsUp https://t.co/xBP10pEEez
